About

Leonardo Nicoletti is a French-Italian documentary and street photographer, that is currently based out of Vancouver, BC. His photography emphasizes on urban settings and the people that make up the street environment. The past few years, Leonardo has been working on a long term project called "Confessions from the Eastside", for which he has been photographing Vancouver's downtown Eastside and its people. This is a very marginalized part of the city, which hosts most of Vancouver's homeless population and is notorious for its Heroin and Fentanyl addiction problem.

Leonardo's travels have allowed him to photograph a wide range of environments. In the urban context, his photography reflects cities all over the world such as Paris, Rome, San-Francisco, Montreal, Vancouver, New York, and Cuba.

Leonardo's work has been featured in numerous instances, such as in the 'Ulterior Motif' exhibition, in which he worked with influential Canadian artist Pamela Masik on the theme of women alter egos and archetypes. More recently, Leonardo's street photography was exhibited at the Art Attak Festival in Paris. Leonardo has over 20,000 followers on Instagram, attracting over 150,000 views every month.
